SOMETHING ABOUT JACK
RARRITS

Three or four species of magnificent
forms of American hares are found inhab-
ting the great prairie wastes of our Ter
ritories west Of the Mississippi, from toe
extreme northwest, clear down into New
Mexico and Texas.
Many years ago, for three our four sue
oessive summers and winters travelled
all over the vast prairie lands OF Wyo-
ming and Southern Dakota, where the
stunted sage brush extends as far as the
eye can see. 1t is in such regions that
we find the northern variety OF our hare,
or the "jack-rabbit," as he is generally
known to frontier people. And they are
splendid old representative OF the fam
ity, can tell you, and very well do re-
member the first one I bounced up out
on the prairies. He was squatting down,
half asleep reckon, behind sage brush,
and as 1 came along swinging my car
bine in my hand, off he started with sort
of sidelong lope, alternately striking his
great furry feet in good time down upon
the hot, dusty soil of tie prairie. What
in the world can that thing be?" was the
first thought that came into my mind, as
he reared his great black-tipped ears,
and was rapidly increasing his gait
and then it flashed upon me, as brought
my carbine to my shoulder, "Why' that's
the famous iack-rabbit." As fred, the
heavy ball struck close to him, raising a
cloud of dust, = then he just did go, sure
enough, clearing from six to eight feet at
the leap, and was out of sight in no time.
These fellows turn nearly white in the
winter, but still retain the black tips to
the ears. They are then wonderfully
handsome animals, and / shall never for
get how admired one, one winter, as he
lay stretched out upon the snow, where
he had fallen to my shot, with the splash
of blood drops marks marking it about
him.
During this time of the year, and es-
pecially in severe weather, they will allow
you to approach very close to them be-
fore they start to run; and one time
saw six or seven molnted Sioux Indians
cracking away at one with their pistols as
the animal squatted in the frozen snow,
not ten feet in front of them. Finally
one Of the shots passed through its shout
ders, when with bound in the air it fell
dead, pom the very spot where they had
| first discovered it.
These hares are very different from
rabbits in one particular, for they are not
so easily killed, and | have frequently
seen poor wounded creature run some
considerable distance before it fell from
the shock and loss Of blood. In hunting
them, 1 have always used very heavy
shot, and on more occasions than one
have started two fiue old fellows together
and tumbled one over with each barrel
of my fowling-piece.
Their young are beautiful little Great
ures, although they do pot make very en-
gaging pete, and judging from those that
1 have kept, am inclined to believe that
they do not get the black tips TO the ears
until they are nearly or quite fully gro sn

You Carry

A whole medicine chest in your pocket,
with one box of Ayers Pills. AS they
operate directly on the stomach and
bowels, they indirectly affect every
other organ of the body. When the
stomach is out of order, the head is
affected, digestion fails, the blood be-
comes impoverished, and you fall an
easy victim to any prevalent disease.
Miss M. e. Boyle, of Wilkesbarre, Pa,
puts the whole truth in nutshell, when
she says 81 use no other medicine
than Ayers Pills. They are all that
any one needs, and just splendid to save
money in doctors bills

THE TOBACCO CONVENTION.

On the End of July there is to be
an informal meeting of tobacco men
at Greensboro, for the purpose of de-
termining the time and place for hold
ing State Tobacco Convention. This
subject was discussed in the summer
of 1884 by the Press of the State and,
mainly through the influence of Mr..
w. II. Page, of the Raleigh Chronicle,
the Convention was broadened into the
State Exposition.
That the Convention will be an ex
cellent thing, few doubt, but now
comes the question, Where shall it
be held 90
Raleigh is making efforts for it,
Durham claims it, and Greensboro
says it ought to come there. Each
town offers many attractions.
Winston, as yet, has said little, but
with her fine market, her location,
hospitable citizens and attractive city,
she offers advantages unequailed by
any town in the State.
Outside these, Salem, with its his
toric associations, its cultured people,
its educational institutions. cotton,
wooden and iron industries, offers rare
attractions to the visitor All these
things combine to make Winstor-Sa-
lem the place for the Convention. Some
of our business men will be at Green's
boro to urge our city's claims, and we
hope they will, to use Gen. Grants
phrase, " fight it out on that line,. if it
takes all the summer" before they
will allow Winston to miss this fine
opportunity to promote its material
welfare.

VERY TIMELY.
welfare.

Last week, at the Teachers Assem-
bly, at Morehead, the following very
timely resolutions were introduced by
Prof C. D. McIver, of Peace Insti-
tute, and unanimously adopted by the
Assembly:
WHEREAS, the members of this
Assembly have heard with peculiar
pleasure of the increased prosperity
of our schools throughout the State,
and whereas, they desire to show their
appreciation of the encouragement that
they have received from all friends of
education, we desire hereby to express
our thanks to the editors and others
who are showing so deep an interest
in, and so kind a spirit towards, our
work and our profession.
And while we recognize that we'll
wishers give true and necessary aid to
education, we know that the great need
of our schools and colleges to-day is
money, and money they must have, if
our progress is to be rapid.
Feeling this as we do, we wish to
acknowledge with pride and gratitude
the numerous and generous donations
to our educational institutions
schools and the churches made by
Mr.. j. S. Carr, of Durham. We say
with pride, because we are proud that
North Carolina has citizen who
combines in such marked degree the
two elements of usefulness, viz abili-
ty and inclination and we say with
gratitude because man who left col
lege twenty years ago without money
and who has since given to the educa-
tional institutions of his State enough
to average over $1,000 a year for the
twenty years, besides his substantial
aid to churches, asylums and private
individuals, deserves the lasting graft
tude of every teacher in the State, and
we wish as profession to acknowledge
our Indebtedness to Mr.. Carr as our
friend and benefactor.
And we are glad that we do not
have to confne our thanks to North
Carolinians. We recognize the fact
that any man who helps any institu-
ton in North Carolina confers bene-
fit, either direct or indirect, on every
teacher in the State, and we feel an
unusual appreciation of the handsome
donation made to Wake Forest Col
lege by Mr.. Bostwick, of New York,
stranger to us but nevertheless a
friend. and one whom the teachers Of
North Carolina will continue to re-
member with gratitude.
And we wish further to express
our thanks to Mr.. Sydney S. Lea, of
Caswell county, for his donation of
$4,000 to Wake Forest College.
"To all of these and others who
have shown their iberality to educa-
tional institutions in our State, we
offer our hearty thanks"
